An introduction to Brussels

Brussels is often overlooked by tourists in favour of destinations such as Bruges and Ghent, but there's far more to the Belgian capital than meets the eye. It boasts culture, fine architecture and an elegance that is found in few other urban areas. Whether you're visiting Brussels for a couple of nights or spending several days in the city, you're bound to find plenty of reasons to come back for more.

Brussels in brief

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and also holds the status of the 'capital' of the European Union. This gives it a truly cosmopolitan flair, with people from all over the continent and beyond making the city their home. Some one million people live in Brussels, with many more staying for business or diplomatic purposes. Increasingly, the city is also embracing tourism and more and more people are choosing to visit the Belgian capital for weekend breaks or longer.

Don't be put off by its seemingly high prices - while its status has indeed inflated the cost of living, it is still possible to visit Brussels on a budget. One way to do this is to choose a holiday apartment in Brussels instead of a hotel. Apartments tend to be quieter, safer and more affordable than hotels of a similar quality, making them the ideal choice for discerning tourists and business travellers on a budget.

What not to miss

Large parts of Brussels are modern thanks to its political importance, but many of the city's streets are still steeped in history. In fact you can expect to find a fascinating blend of old and new, with important attractions including:

The Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula - This ancient Roman Catholic cathedral dates back to the 11th century and is often used for important ceremonies, such as royal marriages and state funerals. Its facade was completed in the 15th century and features Gothic architecture. The nave was restored between 1983 and 1989, returning much of the structure to its former glory and uncovering well-preserved remnants of the original Romanesque church.

Grand Place - Brussels' ancient town square dates back to the 15th century and is rarely missed by visitors to the city. Many of the buildings were constructed in the late 17th century and offer ideal photo opportunities, with a range of architectural and artistic styles living harmoniously side by side. The Grand Place also provides a range of cafes and restaurants for those in need of refreshment.

Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium - Located near the Royal Palace and Brussels Park, the Royal Museums are actually comprised of two separate museums in a single building. They are also linked to the Magritte Museum, which features the works of surrealist artist Rene Magritte. Visitors to the museums will be treated to an array of works, ranging from ancient art to comic strips and ultra modern pieces. This large building provides several floors of exhibits, including eight subterranean levels!

Manneken Pis - One of Brussels' more unorthodox landmarks is the Manneken Pis - a small bronze statue depicting a naked boy urinating into the basin of a fountain. Standing 61cm tall, the current sculpture is actually a replica of the original, which was first put in place in the early 17th century. Since then, the figure has been stolen on a number of occasions and the most recent version was installed in the 1960s.

How to get to Brussels

Brussels is easy to reach thanks to its proximity to Brussels Airport (Zaventem National) and its status as a major rail hub. The train network extends to the airport itself, with the journey from the airport to the capital taking approximately 20 minutes.

When to visit

There's never a bad time to visit Brussels. However, the city is often affected by rain, so pack a raincoat and an umbrella and you'll never be caught unawares. Many of the most important festivals - such as Iris Day in May and the Ommegang procession in July - take place during the milder months of the year. But if festive spirit is your thing, then you should consider visiting in December for the city's famous Christmas markets.

If you're interested in visiting the Belgian capital, why not take a look at our holiday apartments in Brussels? Our high quality accommodation often provides significant savings compared with staying in a hotel.

Overall level of finishing was better than other apartments and the bedroom was very well presented.

Bourse 5

Jos, Netherlands

Very central and convenient location, in the middle of a lot of city-buzz as the name says, but bedroom is really quiet except for a distant dove-cooing in the morning. The somewhat narrow bed can also be a bonus.

Bourse 5

Marwati, Singapore

The location of the apartment is good as it is very near to the Metro station. Also, there is quite a number of Halal food outlets that can be found within walking distance from the apartment. Besides that, tourist attractions are also nearby.

Bourse 5

Magdalena, United States

The apartment is very well maintained and a decent size, perfect for a short stay for 5 people. The kitchen is stocked well and the bathroom is very nice and clean. The wifi connections is nice and fast, 5 euro a day. Location is the best part, very central, 3 min walk to the square and any night life or restaurants. Supermarket is a block away. Very enjoyable overall!

Apartment is in a convenient, very central location. The kitchen has everything one might need, and the living room is large. The TV even has a device that can play videos from USB sticks or SD cards.

Bourse

Vukasin, Serbia

Bourse apartment is perfectly located in the city center. The apartment was clean and very comfortable, and I felt really safe during my stay. I really liked that it had a fully equipped kitchen which really came at hand. I think it has been one of the best apartments I have stayed in.

Everything in the flat was clean and modern and we really had no problems, but the location was definitely the best part--closely located to tourist locations and nightlife. I was a little worried that the flat didn't have air-conditioning, but it really wasn't a problem at all.

- The ease of formalities: The one of us who had to get the keys had a severe train delay, so she arrived on Sunday evening much later than expected. Calling the person in charge and making an appointment for getting the keys was very comfortable and friendly.

Bourse 2

Ruben, United States

It was quite the adventure getting to the room. The problems were on my end. I had difficulty trying to reach the office with the cell phone I had, it was a pre paid European phone and I did purchase a sim card for it. But I could not get it to connect.
We proceeded to the office to check in even though we could not call. The office was not scheduled to open for another hour when we arrived but the staff was there and assisted us with allowing us to store our baggage until they were open. We chose to take a walk and see some quick sights.
The sights were so amazing we took 4 hours instead of the 1 we needed.
Our bags were secure the check in process was easy and the room was great.

a very good point is the location of the apartment, really in the center of Brussels, great rooms, plenty of space.

Grand Place 4

Debora, Canada

Grand Place 4 is very well located in the heart of downtown Brussels and therefore close to everything (tourist sites, restaurants, shopping). It provides easy access to both the metro lines and the Central train station. It is a very large apartment and was therefore very comfortable for our group of three and we felt very good value for the rate we paid.

The apartment was clean, modern, comfortable and very well located! Also I felt that is was well equipped with kitchen wear, appliances and TV/dvd player. The bed upstairs was very comfortable as well.

Grand Place

Melanie, United Kingdom

There was nothing we didn't like about our accommodation. It was brilliantly located - right in the heart of town, just round the corner from the Grand Place- it was spacious, modern, clean and very well-equipped. It was also very reasonably priced.

Grand Place

Sergiy, Ukraine

I liked that:
1) Appartments was clean.
2) Kitchen equipped with all necessary things
3) Appartment lookes the same as on web site

We stayed at apartment Grand Place 2. The apartment was very clean and have lots of natural light due to multiple beautiful windows. Layout was very modern and very comfortable for our family of 5. Location was fantastic - just right on the Brussels square (Grand Place) with lots of restaurants , bakeries, waffles shops etc. It's nice to just look down on the streets from the balcony and see the hustling and bustling of the city going on.
Just a tip: There is no elevator in this building, even though apartment Grand Place 2 is on the second floor, there is still substantial amount of stairs to climb. So for elderly and people with lots of heavy baggage , it can be a bit challenging.

Great apartment in perfect location. One minute from Grand Place.

Grand Place 2

Paul, United States

The location of the appartment was great. Loved the atmosphere just outside the window, with street performers and general city life (not excessive but just what you woudl expect if you rented anywhere in a vibrante city). The arrangements were easy and the key pick up etc worked very well. We were a family of 5 with three children aged 14-10 and the apratment was just what we required.

The location is perfect. Close to city center.
Very convenient kitchen. Good kitchen utensils.

Grand Place 3

Melanie, United Kingdom

There was nothing we didn't like about our accommodation. It was brilliantly located - right in the heart of town, just round the corner from the Grand Place- it was spacious, modern, clean and very well-equipped. It was also very reasonably priced.

We liked the convenience of the location and that the apt had a little elevator. It was clean, with new fixtures in the baths. The refrigerator, stove and hot water heater worked well. The fact that there was only one toilet in the apartment was something we were able to get used to and did not affect our enjoyment of the apt. It's best if two people do not take shower/bath at the same time because of water pressure. The temperature control in the apt worked well. We appreciated the helpfulness of the people in the Apartments Apart office. They arranged for our taxi when we were leaving early after our stay. Much appreciated.

The apartment was perfect for my family - two adults and three children over the age of 11. It is centrally located and has easy access to all the main sites and loads of good restaurants. the underground car parking was very useful to have as well. the apartment was clean and well furnished and the beds were comfortable.

It was a beautiful and convenient apartment in the center of the city that I recommend it to any future visitor of Brussels.

Opera 204

LEBINH, United Kingdom

Opera 2 and Opera 3 were located next to each other which was perfect for a group of a friends travelling together. Both apartments were spacious, very modern, clean and in a fantastic location. It has 2 bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen (which we didn't have any chance to use as there are such great restaurants around town). One great thing is that the apartments had underground parking which was very convenient if you have a car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend these apartments.

The Opera 3 apartment is modern, clean and there is lots of space. It has a full kitchen, two separate toilets and two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a bath. My two sisters, one of their daughters and myself stated for one night and we wished it could have been longer. The apartment is in an ideal location, walking distance of the new and old town, next to a metro and has underground car parking, which cost 12 euros for the one night. There is also a cinema just round the corner. We were given two sets of keys which is good because one of my sisters wanted to go to an art gallery and the rest shopping. As we had been given a key to get into the garage car parking, we made are way up to the apartment on the second floor and got the keys of the cleaner. And when leaving the apartment, alhough a little more tricky if you have a car, all the keys are left on the dinning room table and you just shut the doors behind you as you leave the building. Would definately stay again, for longer the next time.

I loved the apartments! They were spacious and very well located in the center of Brussels. I stayed with a group of 15 persons and we all loved it. There is a beautiful little bistro right across the street which has the best goatsiecheese sandwich in Brussels! And the Lemonparty ice-tea was to die for! We can definitely recommend the bistro Intermezzo just across the street. Brussels is a very nice city and we will definitely come back some day!

Nice location in the exact center of Bruxelles,in place de la monnaie,just between the shopping street rue de neuf and the beautiful Grand Place;we rented 2 apartments,Opera 5 and Opera 6 and we had a nice stay.

Opera 303

Jesse, Netherlands

When walking in the hallway from the elevator to the apartment, we already transformed into a relaxation mode. Very nice, tasteful and modern surroundings. The apartment was very spacious and had two separate toilets and a large bathroom. If besides the two bedrooms you want to use the living room as a third bedroom, the others won't have to go through the living room to get to a toilet, so even some privacy in there is guaranteed, which is nice. The two balconies with two large window doors were great too. If you closed them, you couldn't hear the busy streets anymore.

Ideally located.
Spacious, functional and comfortable.
Well served, the metro station very close.

The apartment was pretty big, and the location was excellent, within 10 min. walking distance of the Grand Place, Cathedral and many other landmarks. Everything was very clean, and it took only 10 minutes to get our key from the staff.

Opera 401

Dennis, United Kingdom

The apartment was very well appointed. The kitchen was excellent - I especially liked the fact that you had left a few items, presumably from other occupants, such as salt & sugar, which made catering a little easier.
The supply of linen was excellent, including bedding.
The location was perfect - we came for the opera, which was just on the opposite corner, and very good eating places, shops, and the underground were right there.

This was a fantastic apartment, very spacious and very nicely appointed in a modern, European style. The location was absolutely perfect -- close to the Grande Place, shopping, restaurants, metro, train station. The kitchen had ample utensils and the furniture was quite comfortable. The view wasn't great -- but partly because the square in front of the opera house is being refurbished; eventually it should look nice.

I loved the apartments! They were spacious and very well located in the center of Brussels. I stayed with a group of 15 persons and we all loved it. There is a beautiful little bistro right across the street which has the best goatsiecheese sandwich in Brussels! And the Lemonparty ice-tea was to die for! We can definitely recommend the bistro Intermezzo just across the street. Brussels is a very nice city and we will definitely come back some day!

Lynda, Canada

I was very pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff in Brussels, the spaciousness of the apartment and excellent location. We are a family of four, with two teenagers, and had plenty of room. Plus, we could walk to central places very easily. Shower had ample water pressure and the appliances worked fairly well. Kitchen had basic pots and pans, but sufficient for a few meals. We could have used a few more utensils.

ROMANA, Italy

The location was great, since the apartment was very close to the Grand Place, the Cathedral, the Metro and all the possible bars and restaurants.

My friends and I loved the Appartment at Opera Residences in Brussels - large, well equiped, clean and very centrally situated! It is a very good option when travelling with a group or family. Moreover the price and quality ration are very good - especially compared with central hotels.

The apartments were very clean, well equiped and very central. We had plenty of room and did not feel cramped. It was really good to have 2 toilets as in one of the napartments we had 6 adults.

The check-in process was pretty quick and easy, and the people who worked there were helpful and friendly. The location of the apartment, however, is what really stood out - right in the heart of Brussels, near everything one could want when visiting that city. Truly a perfect location.

Gregor, Austria

Great location, and the apartment has a nice interior. Friendly people at the office.

We love Brussels! and the appartment was excellent - great location literally round the corner from the Grand Place and right next to a metro stop meaning we could go everywhere very easily - there is also an amazing aray of shops including a Pauls Patisserie very close by (yum yum!). We would recommned ApartsmentApart especialy Opera 13 as great value for money for our v-large family of 6! One improvement would be a washing machine but appart from this perfect! Thank you!

Lovely spacious open plan apartment. Fantastic location. Great views from the balcony. Comfortable beds and good furnishings. Good range of equipment in the kitchen (although no wine glasses!).

The opera 14 was a large , clean, fully equipped and very comfortable apartment. All necessities were provided. Excellent location, old town and tourist areas all by foot. Train and bus stations just few meters. Restaurants and supermarket were all nearby. Good panoramic views from the balconies.

The apartment was bigger than I had expected looking at the photos on the website and it was sufficiently equipped for a short stay.
The location is simply perfect, right at the heart of Brussels, however the apartment is not noisy at all.
